[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] So this is a very welcome surprise – REN is a skin care brand that I really rate and use often so I’m happy to see they’re offering minis which give you a generous taster of what the products are like. I find at full size, it’s just a little bit too pricy to take a risk on if you don’t feel it’s absolutely certain about something. I’ll flag my top picks obviously and it looks like we are still waiting for a mini Barrier Support Elixir which I use a lot. Expect this week to be a bit quiet on posts – I have picked up a bug and am waiting it out :-).
The first mini I’d head for is the Mini Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm (£15). I used this on Friday actually after a day by the seaside – I used plenty of sunscreen but that didn’t stop my cheeks looking red and a bit chapped (wind, I think). It’s instantly soothing and very softening. In that same vein, I’d also pick out the Evercalm Ultra Comforting Recovery Mask (£15) which gives parched skin a drench of hydration to bring back its comfort and flexibility.
Clean Screen is another good try – I like it a lot and have used it often but I never feel I need mattifying so tend to use it on my hands now more than my face. It’s for you if you actively seek a mattifying SPF and prefer your SPF to feel more like skincare. It’s £10. There are 11 minis in total – I’d suggest anything at all from the Evercalm range which is more or less fail safe – if you have skin redness or sensitivities, it’s the right range for you and if you’re looking for skin brightening, the Ready Steady Glow (£10) is a best seller for a reason. Travel is the obvious reason for having smaller sizes but personally, I like them for the lower level of commitment to a product before you know if you love it or not. I’d always, always choose the smaller version of something I haven’t tried before if it’s a possibility (which it rarely is) and in the past I’ve raved about REN and apologised about the price so that’s solved too! You can find the minis HERE.

Firstly, very sorry to hear you’re poorly, and I hope you recover both quickly and well xx
Secondly, as somebody with very reactive skin, smaller sizes to try are always very welcome! The Evercalm range sounds like something I should try 🙂
